Make Your Holiday Gifts November 18

They say it’s the thought that counts in gift-giving, but everyone know that effort matters, too. Put your own personal touch on the holidays this year by making your own gifts. Join the holiday gift-making series at Good Garbage, and get creative.

Holiday Gift Making

Learn how to make your own gifts this holiday season at Good Garbage. November’s themed crafts are pocket hand warmers and ice packs. You can create these items using a sewing machine or hand stitching, and there will be people to help you figure out how to do it. You’re allowed to make as many items as you can during the two-hour class, which lasts from 7 to 9 pm.

Class costs $25, which is a lot cheaper than most trendy holiday gifts this year. Go to Good Garbage to participate, and personalize this holiday season. You’ll find it right in the heart of the Clifton neighborhood, at 2216 Frankfort Avenue. That’s just down the road from one of Clifton’s favorite restaurants, the Irish Rover, and the Clifton Community Center. Spend time in this community, and you’ll find out why so many people in Louisville want to be a part of it.
